In the 400th special relay episode of SBS "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny," Lee Dae-ho and Shin Hye-jung touched hearts with their affectionate love for each other.
According to the ratings research company Nielsen Korea, the viewership rating for the Seoul metropolitan area for the episode that aired on the 25th was 4.2%, while the 2049 rating was 1%. On this day, it once again secured the first place in its time slot and ranked first among all Monday entertainment shows, with a peak viewership rating of 5.6%.
In this episode, Lee Dae-ho, known as the "4th batter of Joseon," joined his first love, Shin Hye-jung, as the third participant in the 400th special relay, drawing attention. Having been together for a total of 24 years, including eight years of dating, the couple appeared sweet even before the pre-interview shoot. Lee Dae-ho adorably looked at his nervous wife, Shin Hye-jung, while also showing his love by anticipating her needs and taking care of her attentively, surprising everyone in the studio.
Additionally, Lee Dae-ho, who appeared slimmer, revealed that he successfully lost 20 kg through dieting and exercise over three months, which garnered admiration. He noted, "Recently, I've started Wegovy, but it's been exaggerated that I've lost weight entirely through Wegovy. For three months, I had one meal a day and didn't drink a drop of alcohol." He expressed his frustration, adding, "When asked about my current weight, I coyly refused to disclose it, saying, 'Even after losing weight, I still weigh over 100 kg. I can't go below two digits.'" Meanwhile, Shin Hye-jung commented, "I think he is the cutest person over 120 kg in the world. He dances and acts cute, and those gestures are truly adorable. That's why I always call him my 'belly prince,'" revealing Lee Dae-ho's charming side.
On this day, Lee Dae-ho, who was jealous and constantly asked, "What about me?" to his wife who was taking care of their exercising son, craved her attention. He even had his wife apply sunscreen on him. Shin Hye-jung stated, "I need to apply lotion and sunscreen, and I have to give him his medicine directly," and added, "Since I've been taking care of him, it seems like he wants me to do it even more." Lee Dae-ho coolly acknowledged this, causing laughter. Shin Hye-jung mentioned that her support was more thorough during his active career. She revealed that she meticulously managed his diet and verified supplement ingredients with trainers, even checking doping-related sites to prevent potential situations, which left everyone in awe.
Thanks to his wife's thorough support, Lee Dae-ho, who was flourishing, also faced tough times. Just a week after their first child, Yeso, was born, he made his move to Japan. Following this, his wife, Shin Hye-jung, shocked everyone by moving to Japan alone with their baby, packing nearly 30 suitcases. However, Lee Dae-ho fell into a slump shortly after moving to Japan. During such times, Shin Hye-jung went to watch him play with the child in her arms. Lee Dae-ho recalled, "When I stepped into the batter's box, my wife was standing there with our daughter. At that moment, I thought, 'I shouldn't show a weak side to my wife and daughter.' Then I hit a double. From then on, things seemed to turn around for me," reflecting on the power of family that helped him overcome his slump.
Furthermore, as a husband who adores his wife, Lee Dae-ho recalled an incident involving a urinal. At 21, he had to be hospitalized for knee surgery in a hospital in Seoul. After his grandmother passed away, and with only his older brother, who was serving in the military, to rely on, Shin Hye-jung was the only one who could be there for him. Despite being young at the time, his girlfriend, Shin Hye-jung, without hesitation, took the trip to Seoul to take on the role of his caretaker. "I was happy to be able to go," she remarked, and took care of Lee Dae-ho wholeheartedly, even personally assisting him with his urination post-surgery when he was unable to move. Lee Dae-ho expressed, "I thought, 'Is this person sent by my grandmother?' I felt like she was the one. Knowing that someone loves me and cares about me made me happy," reminiscing about that time. He added, "Because she did this for me, I felt like I needed to make her happier. I think that was love. I was grateful. She has been my caretaker since then, and still is." The touching story of the two, who had cherished feelings for each other even at a young age, moved many viewers, as the peak viewership rating of 5.6% earned the show the title of "Best One Minute."
Finally, Lee Dae-ho expressed, "If I hadn't met my wife, I wouldn't be in this place. We met in difficult times, leaned on each other, went through struggles together, and raised our family together," expressing his gratitude. In response, Shin Hye-jung began, "My husband always says we have grown together," but her emotions overwhelmed her, and she burst into tears. She continued, "I'm not particularly beautiful or talented, but my husband always says I'm pretty and that he thinks I'm the best. He always puts me first. He is the one who makes me shine. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you."
